Yummy! I made a quick version the other day- stewed some apples in the microwave for a few minutes, crushed some ginger biscuits and sprinkled them over the top, back in the microwave for a couple of minutes. Lovely with cream or ice cream.

I make individual ones in ramkins and freeze.  They come in handy when I need a fix.  Will try the ginger biscuit idea.  Will use some of my gooseberrys.

I like the Ramakin sized snax ideaTomatoada that makes more sense for me being a Diabolic I can control my eating portion better than the normal ""spent years lickin the bowl ""  !!!!!

Jude has brought some O those Marks "micro" jobbies before caroline7758,and they aint too bad so I guess me knocking up a couple from your suggestion sounds a good idea too  !!!!!!!!!!!

Cheers

God, that looks bloody delicious!  My kids like crumble made with apple or pears and bits of chocolate in teh fruit mixture!!!
Whenever I make crumble mix, I always make quite a lot and freeze half. Then when I am pressed for time, I just have to peel and chop a few apples, add a bit of frozen rhubarb or berries from the freezer and top it with the crumble mix, as it comes out off the freezer. In about 10 minutes I can have a crumble in the oven.
